Grand Theft Auto V has been an outrageous success for Take-Two. Since it launched on last generation consoles back in 2013, the open world romp has shifted around 80 million copies, which is frankly insane. Naturally, the company has high expectations for developer Rockstar's next product, Red Dead Redemption 2, but does it think that...

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been delayed into 2018. A bit of a shame to be sure, but the release date alteration doesn't mean jack sh*t according to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick. Speaking during the publisher's latest earnings call, the CEO was asked whether he expects the sequel to perform better or worse now that...

We all knew Grand Theft Auto V as going to be gigantic, but we don't think anyone realised just how preposterously successful it would actually end up being. Rockstar's open world blockbuster has surpassed 80 million sales according to publisher Take-Two, which is an utterly insane figure. Equally mental is that the title has...

Hmmmmm, we're not quite sure what to make of this one. According to Korean publication Game Focus, PlayStation 3 masterpiece Red Dead Redemption is being remastered for the PlayStation 4. The site doesn't note a specific source, but claims that the rumour has been floating around since last month, with whispers from North...

We won't beat around the bush here: from the minute it was revealed we found it hard to care about Battleborn - Gearbox's MOBA-shooter thing with the divisive art style. Turns out that we weren't the only ones who struggled to give a **** either, as the game flopped pretty darn hard upon release. Last we heard, the player base is...

Do you remember when Leslie Benzies, the former president of Rockstar North, left the Edinburgh-based developer earlier in the year? Having enjoyed a long sabbatical prior to his departure, it seemed like the suit was simply burnt out. However, that's not the case according to a $150 million lawsuit that...

Take Two, the company in charge of 2K Games and Rockstar, has hinted that it will appear at E3 2016 in a "big way". Strauss Zelnick, the organisation's head honcho, teased the tidbit in the latest issue of MCV, stopping short of revealing which titles it will have on display. It currently has three games...

Rumours have been swirling for a while now that Rockstar has been working on some sort of single player expansion for Grand Theft Auto V, but those whispers have been silenced by design director Imran Sarwar, who told IGN that the developer's current focus is purely is on the multiplayer side of things.
"Right now our...

There must be a few mobsters over at Take Two with plenty of secrets in the trunk of their car right now, because the evidence of a new Mafia game continues to pile up. Back in May, the publisher confirmed that it's got a AAA-title in the works, and before that, voice actor Rick Pasqualone - who played the main character in...

Strauss Zelnick is back. Yes, the mythical CEO of Take-Two Interactive is starring in yet another Push Square article. We've been through our fair share of ups and downs over the past few weeks: from the executive denying that Grand Theft Auto V was ever supposed to get story mode DLC to his saying that the

Things are only going to get better for the PlayStation 4 – or at least that's what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had to say at the 43rd Annual Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference in New York this past week.
"We have yet to see entirely what the technology can allow," the executive said, talking about Sony's new gaming...

Bit of a weird one, this, but YouTube user ElAnalistaDeBits reckons that the PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto V has suffered a graphical downgrade after the game's latest update.
On Reddit, opinions are torn as to why this might be. Some argue that it's a purposeful move, with Rockstar having to tweak things in order to add...

During a recent investor call, publisher Take-Two's CEO declared that he "wouldn't rule anything out", regarding a possible HD collection of Grand Theft Auto titles.
"Our labels are driven by the desire to delight consumers and pursue their creative passions, and that's been a formula that's worked extraordinarily well for this company,"...

Take Two boss Strauss Zelnick has trotted out a teensy tidbit regarding the future of Rockstar’s popular Red Dead Redemption franchise – chiefly, that the series won’t be hanging up its cowboy hat anytime soon. Chatting at the Cowen & Company Analyst conference earlier this week, the intelligent executive stressed that the firm...

Take-Two is half a tap away from taking control of the WWE license. A report published shortly after the untimely demise of former holder THQ had pegged the publisher as the new ringleader for the bizarrely popular franchise, but the firm's now issued an official statement confirming the news.
"At this time, the agreement is pending...

While the majority of THQ’s franchises found new homes yesterday, there’s still been no official word on the future of the WWE license. Early rumours suggested that EA had picked up the lucrative contract, but that’s been countered by an IGN report which claims that Take Two made a last minute bid for the series...

Excellent (but irritating) first-person shooter Borderlands 2 has shipped 5 million units worldwide, overlord Take-Two Interactive has announced. Speaking at its quarterly financial briefing, the company added that XCOM: Enemy Unknown has also proved to be a “critical and commercial success”.
"Take-Two's second quarter...

XCOM: Enemy Unknown might be happily flaunting its release date like there’s no tomorrow, but times are a bit tougher for 2K Marin’s first-person XCOM reboot. Originally announced in 2010 – and delayed ever since – the controversial shooter is now due out between 1st April 2013 and 31st March 2014, according to publishing overlord...

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn’t foresee much longevity for troubled publisher THQ – the gaffer told an audience at the MIT Business in Gaming Conference that he believes the firm will be fully shuttered in six months time. Zelnick expanded that he believes the publisher’s biggest mistake was working with licensed...

With the exception of Call of Duty, Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto is about the only franchise in the world big enough to command its own television channel. And even then we’re pretty sure it would fill out its programming schedule with Teleshopping ads promoting the Jack LaLanne power juicer. But what’s this got to do...

L.A. Noire might not have been the most even of releases – the open-world crime drama overstayed its welcome by several hours – but it’s still deserving of its success. For all of the game’s faults, it should be recognised for its sheer innovation. Everything from the facial technology through to the very deliberate pacing resulted in...

Two studios under the 2K Czech banner have been hit by a redundancy initiative, according to information obtained by Develop Online

According to the website more than 40 of the developer's staff has been cut from its studio at Brno, with "less than ten" cut from its Prague studio too. Before the redundancies, 2K Czech had a work force of around 200 people. This will result in the..

In fact, other than the words 'Citizen Skywatch' themselves, the website is a barren waste-land devoid of any compelling information. But the Internet is much more investigative than that, and a prompt WHOIS search reveals that the website was registered by Take Two on the behalf of Rockstar Games. Now you're interested aren't you? It's..

Despite it's brand-name dominance dipping slightly to the prominence of the Call Of Duty franchise, Take-Two has revealed that Grand Theft Auto IV has still managed to sell a whopping 20 million copies to date. That really is an extraordinary tally since the game's April 2008 release. In fact, all this talk of Grand Theft Auto is making us..

The Wii has brought a huge number of people into gaming, from undergraduates to granddads, but many see the PlayStation Move as the next logical step: more precise and with greater graphical power behind it, it's more an evolution than a revolution. Take-Two's CEO Ben Feder spoke at a conference recently about how...

Let's be honest, LA Noire is never going to come out is it? To point out just how long Team Bondi's detective game has been in development, let's just look at the origins of the product

In 2004, Sony were funding the project as a PlayStation exclusive. In 2007, Rockstar re-confirmed the game's release for PlayStation 3 in the fall of the following year. Sometime after that, the game was announced..

Can anyone say they really care about Duke Nukem Forever anymore? Did anyone even care in the first place? Games have moved on since Duke Nukem -- the world can happily continue to exist without the release of Duke Nukem Forever; which was supposed to be the case when it was cancelled last year

This morning's rumour from Kotaku suggests the game's not as dead as people think. According to the..

We hinted as much last week when Irrational announced a special press event scheduled for early August.

A. Noire</a> ever release? The latest issue of XBOX 360-World magazine suggests it's still some time away - they're hinting at a Spring 2011 release for the innovative detective title. To be fair, Take Two revealed the date as the fourth-quarter of their fiscal 2010, which ends in March, 2011. Technically Spring starts around there so we could still be on. Still, if you were hoping to..

Rockstar's exclusive Playstation 3 may have only been given a title at E3, but since then details have slowly trickled out about the game

Try this quote from Take Two's Ben Feder, whereby he claims Agent will be "a game about espionage, set in the 1970s" and will be "very, very different" from the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Speaking of GTA, when prompted as to whether the XBOX..

It seems the teams behind the development of Mafia II and Red Dead Redemption have asked for a little more time to perfect their games - something Take Two shareholders were advised would have an impact on their earnings for the rest of the financial year:
"[The delay is] to allow additional development time for the titles and to maximize their full potential in terms of the quality of the player experience and market performance

"</blockquote> The delay will likely hold the games back until early 2010, but they could make the important..
